This is a very funny list.

"Sane defaults", are you going to be arbiter of sanity? With the #3 recommendation, "set up systemd for me", I'd rather not have you at that position.

Most of the bullets you wrote induce a "...why?" thought in somebody that has ZFS experience. Why would you unify zpool and zfs? Why would you want automatic weekly scrubs on as default? Do you realize what ZFS scrubbing is and when is the time to perform it?

I'm a bit agitated by your writing I must confess. You want ZFS to exactly reflect your basic use case so you don't have to move your little finger (automatic naming, automagical configuration). It's not meant to be a hands-off filesystem, you are expected to understand encryption in ZFS in order to use it.

But the most annoying thing is that you did see a steeper learning curve, and want to avoid it. Why don't you write your own ZFS provisioning tool? Why are you still using /dev/sda and not disk-by-UUID or something more 2023? Etc.

Like I said, I just want a wrapper to make this stuff easier for me. It's just like not everyone wants all that comes with running Arch. Some people like having Ubuntu handle the nitty gritty of a Linux OS. What's wrong with that?
